Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)


Recommended Posts

It looks really good!

I came here, because I saw your post pop up in the mini spy, only to find a normal comment and not a sneak peak advance of the film you've gotten me used to. We need to convice the debs to add a prefix, when you post a sneak peak and when you post a normal post :P

I am considering retracting my previous post about looking forward to this due to the lineup of actors which I have only just seen:

 

Batman - Ben Affleck - Hell no

Lex Luther - Jesse Eisenberg - No

 

I mean they managed to intice Henry Cavill back to be superman so why not Christian Bale as batman. :( sucks

 

Regarldess im sure it will be awesome, I just wish Christian Bale was in it

i hope i will be pleasantly surprised.... but i think pretty much every fan is hating this choice of actors!

When I first posted I hadn't bothered to look at the actors until I was in work the other day and one of my guys mentioned the movie so it prompted me to look and my god I was quite shocked!!!!

 

I hope to be surprised as well, Ben Affleck has had some good movies I will give him that but Im still not confident. And Jesse Eisenberg - I think I will hate him regardless in this sort of movie.

Bale was done at 3, it was clear and he's no Depp so they're not going to drop a big $50mil check in his hands to get him to come back.  There's also the fact that this Batman and that Batman aren't the same batman, we're talking two different movie universes here so it makes even less sense to keep the same actor.

 

Bens going to play it fine, haters can hate all they want but it's the same thing we keep hearing whenever they first post who's going to play some comic book hero only to  find out that hey, maybe directors actually know how to cast for their movies.   You guys don't think Bale didn't get some hate when they first posted he'd be the new batman in the reboot?   We all know Ledge as Joker was full of hate.   The marvel fans freaked out when they first heard RDJ was going to play Iron Man,  but look at them now, just spooning over him.    The list goes on, even all the way back to the first Batman movie with Keaton, what he can only do comedy wtfx is Burton thinking!   Well, we all should remember how that turned out, it turned out great.  

 

When all the complainers start to direct their own movies and make great casting moves, then yeah, I'll start to listen to them more but for now, move on, the Ben hate was months ago.

Actually, after reading this comment I agree in part. When I first read Bale was going to be Batman I was thrilled but with the third Batman movie I was heavily disappointed in him with his acting skills for the batman part, too forced and too faked when he spoke, tbh it ruined his part.

 

And for Ledge, I had only seen him in basic movies before this so I thought this was going to be a very big role to live up to and he is now down as one of the most physiologically fuuuuuuuuuucked members of the cinema world due to his acting and sheer disengagement with humanity which is amazing AND unexpected.

 

yeah... this one is so true.  no one expected that performance AT ALL.

Bale ######ed up several times as mentioned above, BUT he did pull off two out of three at least for me so I still have hope for Affleck

One of the things I remember when they first said Bale was going to be batman was fans reacting with things like , "he's too short!" and or "He's not big enough/built enough to play Batman!"   Stuff like that. 

 

Anyways, it's good to see little bits leaking out here and there but I don't want too many spoilers etc.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
